Step 1 — Gather inputs

You need:

• Recency (optional) — default to listings posted in the last 7 days

If skill is not provided, ask before proceeding.

echo "=== UPWORK ===" && cat /tmp/fg_upwork.json
echo "=== CONTRA ===" && cat /tmp/fg_contra.json

### 💡 Tips for These Listings
{1-2 sentences of context — e.g. "Upwork has the most volume but high competition. Contra listings tend to be higher quality clients at better rates. LinkedIn contract roles are typically longer engagements."}

Edge Cases

• Upwork requires login to view listings — extract whatever is visible before the gate, note the limitation
• No listings found for skill — try alternative phrasings (e.g. "React" → "React.js", "frontend developer"; "Python" → "Python developer", "Django")
• Very niche skill — We Work Remotely and LinkedIn may have the richest results; Upwork/Freelancer tend to have more volume for common skills
• User wants a specific budget range — add budget filters to Upwork and Freelancer URLs before running
• User is in a specific country — note that Upwork and Freelancer are global but some listings are location-restricted; LinkedIn can be filtered by country
• All platforms return few results — suggest the user check back in a few days or broaden the skill (e.g. "React" instead of "React Native")
